happy halloween!i took these pictures for lookbook.nu's halloween costume contest, so i figured i might as well post them on my blog too :)

went out in downtown indy last night with some friends and my boyfriend to celebrate our favorite holiday, and i just had to wear the rodarte s/s 2010-inspired costume i wore last saturday again (if you missed it, see pics here).funniest costume i saw at the bar: guy in just a robe, boxers, shaving cream all over his face, first pumping on the dancefloor with a razor in his hand. LOL!

wow oh wow it's my third giveaway this month!i don't mean to bombard you with all of them so close together, but when three amazing sites contact you with three great opportunities, you just can't pass them up.

up for grabs this time is a $100 gift card to 80spurple.com!this site sells it all, including brands like cheap monday, noir, and wildfox couture, and this gift card could get you just what you need to update your fall wardrobe. you can see me wearing a nude crop tee and knotted mini skirt from their own line, purple label, in my outfit pics above.

i pulled this costume together one hour before my friend's halloween party last night, with just $2 in paint and a $5 lipstick. the dress is my h&m maxi that i wear all the time, and the belt is just a random rope. it was obviously inspired by rodarte s/s 2010 (and a recent post by lisa from lisaplace), and yes, i did have help with the body art - i chose the designs, and my mom painted (thanks mom!). needless to say, i had a blast being a "post-apocolyptic warrior princess".costume success :)

here's a funny pic of me and my cooler of diet coke. yo, that's how i roll at parties :Dmy boyfriend is in the background as mario, and his best friend was luigi. they were too freaking hilarious together. proof here.

i meant to announce this friday morning, but i got to busy...the winner of the shoulder chain giveaway is brigitte from california! congrats girl, la dama will be sending you the amazing piece of body jewelry very soon :)X

one of my favorite outfits i've ever put together. it's hard not to love a good combination of camel, velvet, and denim. this coat has the perfect vintage yet modern feel, and i tweeted about finding this awesome, slightly oversized velvet tee. it's something i've been wanting for a while now!

guess what i've got for you guys? another giveaway!this time, i've teamed up with la dama and the prize is this amazing shoulder chain that you see me wearing above.

speaking of winners, i used the random number generator on random.org and the winner of chain bag giveaway i posted last week is tina from texas! congrats girl, you'll be getting your bag very soon, and thank you to everyone who entered.X

this is what i wore yesterday. the leaves had changed to my favorite shades of red/orange/brown overnight with the first frost, and i rushed to break out my cool-weather gear. i am an outerwear and shoe lover, so if i had to name one favorite piece in my closet, it would hands down be this tweed boyfriend blazer that i purchased last winter (you can see me wearing it here and here too).

now for the giveaway!

helena from the new contemporary handbag brand olivia and joy gave me two of these really cool chain bags from their upcoming collection (this particular style is out at the end of november) - one of them is mine to keep, and the other is to giveaway to one of you guys!
